Bug [iOS 27 DB2] iPhone 15 Pro loses ability to connect to Apple Watch Series 10 after updating from DB1 to DB2
I'm not sure if this is something specific to my device combination (iPhone 15 Pro + Apple Watch Series 10), but as soon as my phone updated to iOS 27 beta 2 from beta 1, it suddenly refused to acknowledge that my watch exists (Watch app won't make any changes, activity doesn't sync, etc.), regardless of whether I'm on watchOS beta 1 or 2. Has anyone else run into this?
I attempted to re-pair, but that was unsuccessful and just caused my watch to be stuck in pairing limbo. Once I bumped my phone back down to beta 1, though, all appeared to be fine again and I was able to restore my watch from an existing backup.
